Oh my goodness......it has been a few days full of "roller coaster" emotions and feelings etc etc. Driving from San Fran to Salt Lake City was beautiful...through lake tahoe, reno and all of Nevada. Salt Lake City is an interesting and naturally stunning destination. Surronded by snow capped mountains, the mormon capital of the world, and the University of Utah...Salt Lake has lots to do and see..and i didnt even make it to park city, alta/snowbird/redford's places. Then on to Vail Colorado....!! I have to confess and agree with the idea that people who have not skiied in the rockies/out west have never 'truly' skiied. I can't say enough about the town of vail, the beauty, the skiing, the scene, etc etc. Lleno de argentinos, australians, and south africans....didn't see jime or guy smiley but had ... read more

Just carrying the luggage to our room was a chore with lots of huffing and puffing. Let's face it, I'm not built like an athlete and even an athelete would have a little trouble in this place. The Best Western Ruby Inn is a very big hotel with a pretty nice restaurant and many opportunities for shopping. It's located just a few miles from the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park. It's a beautiful morning at 7am as we drive into the park with temperatures in the low 60's with promises of a much warmer afternoon. A beautiful blue sky has ominious thunderhead clouds to the east ... read more

Until a little over a month ago, I couldn't imagine a better city to call home. Everyone here is so friendly. The mountains are beautiful and humbling, the sun is always shining, and the air is so dry you can run several miles without accumulating a drop of sweat. Everyone eats healthy and stays active-- as opposed to my hometown in Massachusetts where no one would be caught dead on a bike and if you eat a food that even slightly resembles health food, people will roll their eyes at you. My school, Naropa University, is a collection of "the weird kid" from high schools across the country. It is not unusual for people to gather spontaneously into a drum circle, and there's often a guitar or two around to join in. People may raise the ... read more
